ISI Plast
EOS Solutions has supported ISI Plast in the digitalisation and integration of its business and production processes, creating an ecosystem based on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and EOS Power MES. This project links management, production, quality and logistics, with real-time data sharing, greater operational control and more efficient processes.
About us
ISI Plast is a family-owned company with 66 years of experience in plastic moulding and processing, which has grown over time through continuous investments in technological innovation and process organization.
Today, the company employs around 400 people, operates more than 100 presses across five production divisions, and manufactures approximately 100 million parts every year within a production area of 100,000 m2. In a production environment operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, characterized by a high level of automation, the ability to connect planning, production, quality, logistics and order management in real time is essential to ensure fast response times, product reliability and customer satisfaction.
Requirements
ISI Plast’s growth and the progressive evolution of its factory have brought greater complexity to process management. Continuous production, a high number of items and variants, and stringent quality and traceability requirements called for tools capable of connecting the different business areas. The goal was to create an integrated digital ecosystem capable of ensuring reliable and up-to-date information, speeding up operational activities and increasing control over the entire process, from customer orders through to production and logistics.
Speed and reliability of information
Providing customers with fast and accurate answers regarding production times, availability and deliveries required a constantly updated flow of information between sales, planning and production.
Managing production complexity
The increasing customization of products made it necessary to manage items and variants in a more structured way, coordinating commercial, technical and production information within a single process.
Quality, logistics and traceability
Production for the food and healthcare sectors also required increasingly integrated quality controls within the production process, together with more structured and traceable management of warehouse, material handling and shipping activities.
The Solution
- Integrated ecosystem with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
EOS Solutions implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central as the core of ISI Plast’s management ecosystem, integrating sales, purchasing, planning, production, quality and the technical department. The product configurator also enables structured management of items and variants, connecting commercial and technical information within a single flow. - Connected production with EOS Power MES
With EOS Power MES, the presses are connected directly to the system, allowing operators to manage production orders, progress updates, operating instructions and quality controls directly at the machine. Data is collected and shared with the management system in real time, ensuring greater visibility into production activities and complete process traceability. - Logistics, automation and data
The ecosystem is completed by EOS Power WMS, which digitizes warehouse activities and supports logistics flows, including AGV management. AI Order Import automates the acquisition of customer orders in PDF format, while Microsoft Fabric creates a shared data foundation for performance analysis and decision-making support.

Benefits
The digital ecosystem developed by EOS Solutions has enabled ISI Plast to connect previously more fragmented areas and processes, creating a shared flow of information between the management system, production, quality and logistics.
- Reliable data and integrated processes: the integration between Business Central, MES and the other solutions allows the different business areas to work with consistent and up-to-date information in real time, improving the coordination of daily activities.
- Greater control over production: the direct connection between the presses and EOS Power MES makes it possible to digitally monitor orders, progress, operations, downtime and machine status, increasing visibility into what is happening on the shop floor.
- Integrated and traceable quality: the digitalization of quality controls makes checks, approvals and quality information immediately available and traceable, while reducing the use of paper documentation.
- Faster processes and fewer manual activities: a more structured management of items, planning, orders and logistics activities helps reduce manual operations and the risk of errors, making processes more efficient and speeding up responses to customer needs.
- Greater logistics control: the digitalization of warehouse activities, shipment controls and the integration of logistics flows with production and the management system ensure greater traceability and reliability in the handling of materials and finished products.
- A data foundation for decision-making: with more reliable and shared information and the introduction of Microsoft Fabric, ISI Plast can use data not only for day-to-day management, but also to analyze performance and support future decisions.
Thanks to the journey developed together with EOS Solutions, ISI Plast now has an integrated digital ecosystem capable of connecting the factory and the management system and supporting the company’s evolution through more connected processes, reliable information and greater operational control.
